Napper :) Tall trees, I always seem to have Warblers neck when I get home
Off topic, we spotted a male/Tom Turkey at the hwy 400 and hwy 11 split on the way up on Friday. Freshly plowed field..
:!:Cautionary note: Careful if you plan on birding in North Halton . A Turkey hunt is ongoing in certain Tracts North of the town of Milton. :!:
